| Has to be a disinformation exercise. Cover for a real source? Or turning on the light to see where the roaches run? US and South Korean special forces have been parachuting into North Korea to gather intelligence about underground military installations, a US officer has said in comments carried in US media. Army Brigadier General Neil Tolley, commander of US special forces in South Korea, told a conference held in Florida last week that Pyongyang had built thousands of tunnels since the Korean war, The Diplomat reported. "The entire tunnel infrastructure is hidden from our satellites," Tolley said, according to The Diplomat, a current affairs magazine. "So we send (South Korean) soldiers and US soldiers to the North to do special reconnaissance." "After 50 years, we still don't know much about the capability and full extent" of the underground facilities," he said, in comments reported by the National Defense Industrial Association's magazine on its website. Tolley said the commandos were sent in with minimal equipment to facilitate their movements and minimize the risk of detection by North Korean forces. |

| #2 I once had a cousin who was nearly full-blooded native American. After he joined the Army (decades ago), he somehow learned to speak fluent Korean. He did mention parachuting out of a C-47 during his service, but it was on fire. He was a bit on the tall side for his time. Another cousin's wife, this one 100% Korean, said he could have passed. |

| #1 That makes no sense. South Korean troops will be a head taller than the locals, the Americans taller yet -- not to mention clearly not Asian -- it would be a highly risky exercise, surely. |
